Notes

More Thanks

Thanks to the incredible generosity of my good friend and superb graphic designer Eric Ashleigh, we now have FIVE additional brochures! In addition to printed copies, the files he created are small enough to download directly from our site, so be sure to check out all the new stuff in the Resources section.

Anyone in need of graphic design help (print or web), visit Eric's web site at http://www.behance.net/solitairecollective.

More Grant News!

Penn Army of None was recently awarded a generous grant from the Haverford Quarterly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends. These monies will allow us to translate and print Spanish language veresions of our literature, thus reaching out to Hispanic students who are unfairly targeted by military recruiters. We will also use the funds to expand our volunteer recruitment efforts.

Many thanks to the good folks of Haverford Quarterly…

Bill Deckhart, a peace activist from Bucks County, has been involved in protests and demonstrations at the AEC, and sees the closing as a success.
